• God deals with you as with sons for what son
  is there whom his father does not discipline?
  But if you are without discipline, of which all
  have become partakers, then you are illegitimate
  children and not sons. Furthermore, we had
  earthly fathers to discipline us, and we
  respected them shall we not much rather be
  subject to the Father of spirits, and live? For
  they disciplined us for a short time as seemed
  best to them, but He disciplines us for our good,
  so that we may share His holiness. All
  discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful,
  but sorrowful yet to those who have been trained
  by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of
  righteousness.
• Hebrews 127-11

16

• All these things are from God, who reconciled
  us to Himself through Christ and gave us the
  ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was
  in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not
  counting their trespasses against them, and He
  has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
  Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
  though God were making an appeal through us we
  beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
  God.
• 2 Corinthians 518-20
